We have a society (in America) in which the basic
building blocks of a fruitful life are not
available equitably in any sense of the word. To
wit as long as there are problems in areas such
as:

1) housing from the obvious (the homeless) to the
anonymous people living in substandard public
housing.

2) no universal health care.

3) horrible public schools (and I'm talking about
the physical structures and "food" even more than
the teaching) for our children.

4) the unbelievable subsidies given to the most
polluting of our transportation alternatives -
automobiles and airplanes - at the expense of
public transportation.

I find it hard to get too worked up over the
notion however valid it may be of universal access
for brilliant children to MIT. Nonetheless,
thanks for your thoughts, actions, and for
providing this forum for reply.
